More celebrity parents...Twilight star Dakota Fanning (pictured) has revealed that before she became an actress, her parents had hoped she would excel on the sporting field.

She added: “So before I started acting, the plan for me was to be a tennis player – that was the plan for me and my mom had me in tennis classes.

“One day, I went to her and told her I really love the outfits, but it’s just too hot – it’s just too hot for me to play tennis and I didn't want to play anymore.”

Fanning, 16, has also previously confessed to the Daily Mail that she was “traumatized” by her experience on the football pitch. She told the UK newspaper: “I was playing in a game one day and I got the ball for the first time and I was so excited and I was running and running… I turned around and nobody was cheering for me and nobody was proud of me – and I then realized I'd kicked it in the wrong goal – so I quit soccer too.”
